The sweet potato in this dish is a great source of Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), which plays a central role in hormone production – and so helps to relieve symptoms of hormone imbalance, such as low mood and menstrual pain. The mushrooms contain an array of other B vitamins, to work synergistically with the B6. I’ve added in onions and garlic to help support liver function and provide gorgeous prebiotic goodness to your gut microbiota. A healthy and balancing recipe from my 30-Day Programme!
